Mr. Niall Cody:

No. Our role is in the receipt of the betting duty - the 2% on the total. Obviously, the challenge over the years has been to incorporate non-established betting providers, and that was legislated for in 2015 or 2016. It did result in a fairly significant increase in betting duty receipts but betting duty receipts are a relatively small total amount of the total moneys that we collect.
